Build a Zoo

Materials needed: One large sheet of paper, scissors, tape or glue, and the images of animals or you can create a digital zoo.

Instructions for students: You are the manager of a new business that has decided to open a zoo. Your zoo is a private, profit-seeking business that will charge admission to visitors. The purpose of the zoo, as with any business, is to earn a profit.

Your task is as follows:

You have to decide which animals to include in your zoo, but space is limited. You have 25 acres on which to build your zoo. You must use all 25 acres. Each type of animal requires a different amount of space, so you must choose which animals to put in your zoo.

You need at least one male and one female of each animal so they can reproduce. (Except for the house of birds and reptile house)

Choose which animals you will put in your zoo. They must be from the provided list of animals. If you do not see the animal of your dreams, I am sorry but they cannot be part of your zoo.

Design a map layout of your Zoo. Be creative!!! On pg. 3 I have put links up to other Zoo’s maps so you can get an idea. If you want to add a train or a rollercoaster you can, that does not take up acres. You cannot use any of your zoo animals for meat that is served at the park If you want only one animal that is fine. It is your Zoo. You can call it a Sanctuary or a Rescue if you want.

 

-Below each animal is the number of acres just one of the animals requires. For example, one lion requires 2 acres of land. If you want four lions, therefore, you must use 8 of your 25 acres for lions.

Take a large piece of paper and using a marker, design the layout of your zoo. The design should look like a Zoo map. The paper represents the 25 acres you have for animals. Once you have decided which animals to include, how many of each animal, and calculated how many acres are to be used for each animal, cut out the animals you have chosen and glue each animal into its dedicated enclosure. On your map, make sure you have, how many acres a zoo animal gets, Zoo name, restrooms, ticket booths with prices, and food places with prices and any other means of making money (make sure you have the prices). You can have souvenirs stores as well. The map must have color. Make sure the Zoo map looks like a map and I can follow the different paths to each set of animals. If you choose to make a digital Zoo, you still must follow the same guidelines. The only difference is that you would not be using a large piece of paper, scissors, glue and cutting out the animals. Check the rubric on page 3 to make sure you have followed the directions. If you make the Zoo on a piece of paper you do not have to print the animals out in color but color them in once you print them.

Once you have completed construction of your zoo, answer the discussion questions that follow on a separate sheet of paper.

 Discussion Questions:

1. Did every animal make it into your zoo? Why or why not?

2. Did you include a turkey or a cow in your zoo? Why or why not?

3. Why didn’t you have a zoo with only monkeys?

4. Which type of elephant did you choose? Why did you choose the type you did and not the other?

5. What is the last animal to make the cut for your zoo?

6. What is the animal that just missed the cut for your zoo?

Rubric:

______ Zoo Name

______ Acreages equal 25

______ Acreages displayed on map

______ Prices for Tickets, and any other way to make profit

______ Discussion Questions

______ Color

______ Neatness

______ Extra WOW
